Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Setting up local LSP server for Copilot CLI is unnecessary when a connected IDE can serve those operations
### Proposed solution
Manually setting up an LSP server for Copilot CLI to use is non-trivial.
Suggestion: When Copilot CLI is connected to an IDE like VS Code or Visual Studio, LSP tools like go-to-definition, find-references, hover-info, etc could be forwarded to the IDE - leveraging the LSP and Intellisense functionality there.
### Example prompts or workflows
- User opens Copilot CLI on a repository
- User open VS code on the same repository
- See: Agent operations on the repository leverage semantic understanding (via LSP/Intellisense) served by the IDE, rather than grep operations.
